I am pretty much complete creating a patch which changes how dnsmasq is started by moving the command line parameters into a conf file. This new file is placed into the same directory and the lease file.
The test for the command line arguments now checks the contents of the conf-file and there is no longer any tests for the command line parameters which are now two.
This will also change the requirements of whether or not a dnsmasq restart or "refresh" (SIGHUP) is required when certain pieces of the network definition are changed with virNetworkUpdate(), but that can be submitted as a separate patch. (basically, things that used to require a change on the commandline, but now only require a change in the conf file, will no longer require a restart).
The first command line parameter is (naturally) --conf-file=<filename>.
The second parameter adds new functionality and is --conf-dir=<directory>. This directory is placed into the same directory as the conf-file and the lease file. The name of this directory is "<net-name>.d". This was added to make testing/debugging of new dnsmasq options easier since it no longer requires rebuilding the binaries. This is also useful for adding log-dhcp and/or log-queries for a specific network.
Now the option question. I can submit the patch assuming the my previously submitted patch to add --interface to the command line has been applied or I can assume that it has not been applied. In either case, the new code adds a interface=<dev-name> to the conf-file.
Submit it assuming that the patch *has* been applied. I think we do need to make that change (adding "--interface"), but it needs to be explicitly visible in a separate patch (and we need to do some testing before pushing it).
All development and testing was done with 0.10.2 libvirt src.rpm on Fedora 17.
The patch will be submitted based on git.
